Sockets: Assigning a timeout

[Guest]

I need to assign a timeout to a socket, if after sending a request I don't
receive a response in a specified amount of time I need to "release" the
socket.

Which would be the easiest and most efficient way to do this?

TIA

Hi Steven:

Have you looked at options available in the SetSocketOption method?
You'll find some timeout examples in the docs:
